If I had the patience (and the financial situation to accept such a undeservedly-low salary), I would be a teacher in a heartbeat. Not for the kids, nor for the summer vacation, but for the school supplies. I love them. If you've ever read my About Me page, you may remember that I list the smell of freshly-sharpened pencils as one of my favorite things and that's absolutely the truth. Mmmm...
August and September always make me wistful for my school days gone by and I kind of can't wait until our kid is at the age where we can carry on the annual back-to-school shopping. Here are some things on my hypothetical back-to-school list, all from wonderfully unique Etsy!
Reusable Sandwich and Snack Bags by greenstreetbags at $18 for three bags
I'm such a peanut butter & jelly girl and I try to pack my lunch for work every day. Not only are these bags beautiful, but they're environmentally friendly too!
Also, while I'm on the subject of reusable bags, how cute are these Halloween party favor bags from the same seller? You all know how I love Halloween!
Keep Calm and Carry On Necklace by storytales at $16
Yes, we've all seen the posters and wall hangings of this charming British WWII slogan, but this is the first time I've seen it on a pendant. I think this would make the perfect teacher's gift or even the ideal reminder for the worrier in your life.
Une, Deux, Trois Organic Cotton Pencil Case by rohmer at $17
Pencil cases were always my favorite thing to buy, because, duh, they held my favorite thing: pencils! I can barely resist this adorable French inspired one.
Crocheted Ladybug Apple Cozy by LilyKnitting at $9.99
This is probably the most impractical thing I've ever featured on my blog, but I don't care because it almost killed me with it's cuteness. Another adorable gift for teacher, but make sure you get one for yourself too!
